Abhaebrania 3
1 Kulwejo, bhana bhasu abhelu, abhasangisi bho kubhilikilwa mulwile, mumwiganilishe Yesu, Intumwa no Mugabhisi Mkulu owelikilisha lyeswe.
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 Aliga ali mulengelesi ku Nyamuanga unu amwauye, lwakutyo Musa aliga ali mulengelesi ona munyumba yona ya Nyamuanga.
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses [was faithful] in all his house.
3 Kulwokubha Yesu abhaliwe likusho lyamfu okukila linu aliga alinalyo Musa, kulwokubha unu kombaka inyumba kabhalilwa kubha ne chibhalo chinene okukila inyumba eyenene.
For this [man] was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath built the house, hath more honor than the house.
4 Kulwokubha bhuli nyumba eyumbakwa no munu mulebhe, nawe unu kombaka bhuli chinu ni Nyamuanga.
For every house is built by some [man]; but he that built all things [is] God.
5 Chimali Musa aliga ali mulengelesi lwo mukosi munyumba yona ya Nyamuanga, nasosha obhubhambasi ingulu ya magambo ganu galyaikwa omwanya gunu oguja.
And Moses verily [was] faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were [afterwards] to be spoken.
6 Nawe Kristo ni Mwana wo kwimelegulu inyumba ya Nyamuanga. Eswe ni nyumba yae labha chikagwatilila bhwangu kuliikanya no kwiikanya.
But Christ as a son over his own house: whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence, and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
7 Kulwejo, ni kutyo Mwoyo Mwelu kaikati,”Lelo labha ukongwa obhulaka bhwae,
Wherefore (as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Utakola omwoyo gwao kubha mukomee lwakutyo Abhaisiraeli bhakolele mukugayuka, mumwanya gwo kulegejwa mwibhala.
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 Gunu gwaliga gulimwanya gunu bhesomwana bhangayukile kwo kundegeja, nomwanya, kwe miyaka arobaini, bhalolele bhikolwa bhyani.
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Kulwejo ntakondelewe no lwibhulo olwo. Naikile ati, 'Abhabhula bhuli mwanya mumyoyo jebhwe, na bhatakumenya njila jani.
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in [their] heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 Nilwakutyo nalaiye mukubhiililwa kwani: bhatalingila mubhukondelewe bhwani.”
So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Mubhe bhetegelesha, bhaili, koleleki ataja akabhao omwoyo mujabhi owokulema okwikilisha muumwi mwimwe, omwoyo gunu oguja kula na Nyamuanga unu ali muhanga.
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 Kulwejo, mukomeshanye bhuli lunaku bhuli munu no wejabho, koleleki bhuli lunu eibhilikilwa lelo mwisigombele, koleleki oumwi mwimwe atakolwa mukomee kubhujigi bwe ebhibhibhi.
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To-day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 Kulwainsonga chabhee bhamwi mu Kristo chikagwatana no bhukomee bhweswe kwa managa kumwene okusoka kubhwambilo okukinga kubhutelo.
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end;
15 Ingulu yalinu yamalile kwaikwati, “Lelo labha mukongwa obhulaka bhwae, mutakola emyoyo jemwe kubha mikomee, lwakutyo Abhaisraeli bhakolele omwanya gwokugayuka.”Nibhaga bhanu bhanu
While it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 bhamuguhye Nyamuanga no kugayuka? Bhaliga bhatalibhanu bhona Musa atangasishe okusoka Misri?
For some, when they had heard, did provoke: yet, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 Na nibhaga bhanu Nyamuanga bhanu abhiiliwe kwe miyaka makumi gana? Bhatali amwi na bhanu bhakolaga ebhibhibhi, bhanu emibhili jebhwe jafuye no kumama mwibhala?
But with whom was he grieved forty years? [was it] not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
18 Nibhaga bhanu Nyamuanga alailiye okulema okwingila mubhukondelewe bhwae, labha tibho bhanu bhatamunguhye omwene?
And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 Echilola ati bhatatulile kwingila mubhukondelewe bhwae kulwokulema okwikilisha.
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
